You are close to me Michael.....everyone is wanting me to do these beach homes on the gulf coast in AL & FL.

Went with this method which I don't know why I didn't visualize it in the first place. Alternatively why have a dropped beam for the Deck area, you have enough room in the floor structure there to have a hidden beam there that the joists can hang from

Learned something new!

Got a duplex guys, both apartments are the same, just mirrored. I noticed we cannot copy the walls and paste in place in one apartment and mirror on the center wall to the other apartment. How do you guys accomplish this?

Nice, thanks!

I send all views to layout in "vector". The sign doesn't show up but it does in perspective view. Would you send the elevations to layout in "standard"? Your method worked great....btw

Right on Rene, Thanks!

sketchup.....yes, totally forgot......thanks!

Thats a screenshot off the internet of what I am needing.....I did the design for an engineer of a bathroom and the city is requiring men and women signs on the doors on the elevations. I also forgot how to add the material/image to an object/pline solid if that is what you are asking.

I guess this is the right area to post but do we have these in our library?

Why are y'all so obsessed over a screenshot of a home "in work" haha. Give a brother a little time to keep adding to it. Is this better??

Thanks man, I will give those a try. The project is incomplete in many areas. I took the screenshot when I was thinking of the beam.

Working on something new here guys. There was a thread a while back that explained this but how do we bring down the wall material to cover porch beams? I cannot and do not want to push them "up" to hide them. Thanks By the way I use the "floor/ceiling beam" tool to create these if that matters........

I have been looking into Lidar myself.

Is this where you selected it?

Not to hijack this thread but I never hear any reviews about the 3090 that you can get with Dell Alienwares. I wonder if the price increase is really worth it if you already have a 3060-3080?

Thanks Gene, makes better sense now and I believe I got it.

nice, thanks!

Here is the how I wanted them to sit on top of the top plate. Like I said, I normally can figure out where I went wrong but I messed with so many settings this time I am stumped. I had I-joists and the roof auto build worked perfect but I talked the builder and they preferred trusses for A/c duct. I wish trusses could be set up in the roof structure like the I-joists instead of manually pulling them from end to end. Maybe I'm wrong though. I have the sub fascia and fascia sizes like I want them.

Well, I have really messed this up now trying several different options including balloon framing. How can I get the double top plates to sit under the 16" trusses? Google drive link attached.... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JWRsa2UrFhfA55Emln-nbDe3SrgqLlL4/view?usp=sharing

No, most builders have their own cabinet guys who take my drawings and do their thing. I still provide them though and just provide as much info as I can.

Thanks guys, I am experimenting with the auto elevations. I like the NKBA CL dimensions it gives to appliances and such is why I use them.

One thing I have never figured out is how to get the NKBA dims to measure to the center of openings or the rough openings and not the casing. I have checked and unchecked so many boxes in the settings and still nothing? Advice?

Not sure if my Alienware R12 with the 3080 would be slow on X14 but I am not willing to switch over from X13 right now to find out.

yes, just a 2d receptacle, just for the electrical plan. Going in a wood shop with a lot of power tools. Sounds like making your own symbol is the way to go......
